My MIL wastes her day on Zumba and friend dates. I asked her to babysit our 2-year-old son while my husband and I work full-time. She declared, \u201cFull-time babysitting is not a grandma\u2019s job!\u201d My husband stayed silent. I banned her from seeing my baby and hired a nanny.<\/p>\n
Days later, the nanny called me in tears, panicked and trembling. I rushed home and fainted when I found my baby\u2019s crib empty. After a few minutes, I gathered my strength. I opened the closet and froze when I saw that all of my son\u2019s belongings were gone, as if he had vanished. The nanny explained that my MIL had forced her way in and taken my baby. I tried calling my MIL, but her phone was busy. When I called my husband, he sounded unbothered, saying, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, our baby is safe with her-she\u2019s his grandma, after all.\u201d Furious, I retrieved my son from my MIL\u2019s house. She defended herself, saying, \u201cYou have no right to keep my grandson away from me!\u201d Now, I\u2019m livid and at a loss.<\/p>\n
Did I overreact by banning her from seeing him? How do I handle this situation?<\/p>\n
